Why You Should Try Morpheus8

Posted on April 8, 2022 by: Dr. Rocheford

If you want your skin to look firm, refreshed, and youthful, look no further than Morpheus8 at Rocheford Plastic Surgery. This FDA-cleared microneedling device goes beyond the surface to transform your skin at the deepest depths so you enjoy long-lasting benefits and quality rejuvenation of a variety of aging signs.

What is Morpheus8?

Morpheus8 is a radiofrequency-assisted microneedling device that uses computer-controlled needles to create tiny wounds or channels in the skin to a precise and consistent depth. The creation of these channels stimulates the skin’s natural healing response, which, over time, corrects not only the microscopic holes but also the texture and appearance of your skin!

These benefits are compounded with the emission of targeted radiofrequency energy deep into the dermis. This energy gently heats the area it’s targeting, stimulating the cells there to produce more skin-tightening proteins like collagen and elastin while molding fat tissue for the best results.

What Does Morpheus8 Treat?

Common concerns that Dr. Rocheford recommends Morpheus8 for are cosmetic issues of the face and body that haven’t been fixed with non-prescription products or lifestyle changes. People with any of the following concerns can likely benefit from Morpheus8.

  • Mild to moderate wrinkles
  • Fine lines
  • Scarring
  • Rough skin texture
  • Thin skin
  • Under-eye sagging
  • Stretch marks
  • Unfavorable pigmentation

People often come in with concerns about the appearance of wrinkles on their faces that make them look older than they feel. Other common issues are a lack of definition around the jawline and loose skin on their neck, giving the appearance of a so-called turkey neck.

Where Can Morpheus8 Be Used?

Unlike other treatments that may be geared specifically for the face and neck, Morpheus8 can be used nearly anywhere on the body.  While many people care more about their face than their body, those who want to get rid of their stretch marks, for example, may benefit from Morpheus8 for the stomach or thighs.

One of the best things about Morpheus8 is that it’s safe for all skin colors. Lasers use specific high-energy wavelengths of light to achieve their facial rejuvenation benefits, which can often have risks of complications for darker skin types. With Morpheus8, there’s no risk for people of color to enjoy the same skin enhancement anyone else can.

The Morpheus8 Process

After being cleared as a good candidate, Morpheus8 patients will come in for an appointment for their treatment. The process itself, depending on the size of the treatment area, takes approximately an hour, with multiple passes over the area with the Morpheus8 device. Once it’s over, you’re free and able to go about the rest of your day without further interruption!

The aftercare process only requires that you not touch or use skincare products for up to 12 hours after leaving our office. You’ll start to see results after your last treatment session (the typical plan includes 3 sessions) that will improve for up to three months before you see your long-term results.
